that aren't new have been pleasantly

you can learn more about that in our
recent review of the all-new 2019 Santa
Fe epa-estimated fuel economy is rated
at 21 miles per gallon city twenty six
miles per gallon highway with a combined
rating of 23 miles per gallon Auto
Academic saw an impressive twenty five
point seven miles per gallon during
testing a regular fuel
I don't even know why Hyundai bothers
putting the knee cutouts and the backs
of their seats anymore because legroom
is wonderful as our head and shoulder
room throwing the plethora of cupholders
heated outboard seats and USB port and
there's really not much to complain
about
[Music]
despite its monotone appearance the
cockpit of this Tucson looks nice with
soft touch materials practically
everywhere these seats are supportive
and feel really good hence again with
all the included details there's really
not much to complain about
so now we've addressed all that it's
time to take it out and see how it
drives
[Music]
as with pretty much all current-gen
Hyundai's this Tucson would make someone
very happy it's smooth quiet and nimble
enough and while powers just adequate
I'm not complaining because fuel economy
is good the stereo sounds good and the
adaptive cruise control now has to stop
and go feature included
[Music]
Hyundai's quality is truly up there now
all while keeping their vehicles pricing
within reason and like I said before
this Tucson would make someone very
happy
[Music]
so we've come to the end of this review
and I've had very few concerns I like
the interior I like the exterior and it
drives fine too in fact there's just one
complaint that I have it's that the
totally redesigned Santa Fe is larger
more powerful and has a few more
features for just a little more money in
fact that's the one I think I take as
always if you like this video give it a
thumbs up and share it with someone
who's looking for a good small crossover
finally if you haven't done so already
by all means subscribe so you don't miss
what we have coming up next I'm Kris
